Bucknell University’s Chemical Engineering faculty have designed a chemical engineering class project focused on exploring the renewable energy opportunities available to the community of New Berlin from local sources. Students taking Bucknell’s Chemical Engineering Senior Design class, under the direction of Professors Jim Maneval, Kat Wakabayashi and Ryan Snyder, are charged with exploring the technical and financial opportunities to assist New Berlin to gain greater energy independence through the use of renewable energy from local sources.  The Chemical Engineering Department is working with the goals of the New Berlin Energy Independence Project to develop feasibility assessments of potential fuel-production processes from resources suitable to the community and the region.
